| 13 | This posts data exactly as specified with no extra processing whatsoever. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a filename. Data |
| 16 | is posted in a similar manner as --data does, except that newlines and |
| 17 | carriage returns are preserved and conversions are never done. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Like --data the default content-type sent to the server is |
| 20 | application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If you want the data to be treated as |
| 21 | arbitrary binary data by the server then set the content-type to octet-stream: |
| 22 | -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream". |
| 23 | |
| 24 | If this option is used several times, the ones following the first will append |
| 25 | data as described in --data. |
